Facter 1.7.5-rc2 release notes
---------------------------------------------------
Facter 1.7.5 is a bug fix release in the 1.7 series. It fixes two issues
with the packaged installer on OS X 10.9 and adds support for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 7.
*Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7*
Facter now supports RHEL 7, although it is currently limited to x86_64.
Packages will be available in the near future.
*Support for OS X 10.9*
Facter DMG packages on OSX will attempt to load Facter from rbenv PATH and
fail
The Facter DMG package on OSX was identifying the path to ruby with
/usr/bin/env ruby, which would cause it to load Facter from the wrong path
if rbenv was installed. The package now uses /usr/bin/ruby.
FACT-182 <https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/FACT-182>: Facter Does not
run on OS X 10.9 Mavericks
Previously, Facter would not run on OS X 10.9 when installed from the
pre-built package, although installing through RubyGems would still work.
Now, it runs properly either way.
*Miscellaneous Fixes*
FACT-82 <https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/FACT-82>: Force ASCII-8BIT
encoding on raw data in property lists
Facter now forces ASCII-8BIT encoding when reading from property lists
whenever possible, which allows it to read strings encoded in binary
plists. This fix primarily affects OS X Mavericks.
